Hello everyone, I am now in need of an authentic MAP sensor for my 2005 e46 320cd. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate any genuine options. Can anybody provide assistance or suggestions? I am unable to locate the specific component number.I am currently using a BMW-branded sensor, but I am unable to locate an identical replacement. Can anybody provide assistance? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your article. It is always intriguing to learn about the thoughts and actions of others about their autos. -
Looking for a replacement seal for the intermediate shaft?

Thank you for the photographs 🙂 Was the throw out bearing the only cause of the leak in your situation? -

Thank you for your response. It seems that this might possibly be the cause of the leak. Removing the rear timing chain cover sounds like a significant task. However, considering the amount of effort and money involved, it may be worthwhile to replace the gasket while doing this procedure. -

Thank you for your response. However, I have discovered that the shaft on the engine side does not pass through the "oil sump" as I first believed, and the same applies to the gearbox side. There are only two possible causes for an oil leak within the bellhouse: the "slave cylinder" and the crankshaft seal. -
Hello, I am replacing the flywheel, clutch, and release bearing. There was a significant oil spill in the bellhouse, making it difficult to establish whether it is just hydraulic fluid, or a combination of gear oil and engine oil (I could not detect the fragrance of gear oil). I want to ensure that I achieve complete accuracy while doing the task. While it is clear how to replace the crankshaft seal, is there also a replaceable seal on the intermediate shaft, both on the engine and gearbox side? There is a red ring visible in the picture. (I neglected to get a photograph of my personal bellhouse, therefore the one I am using is sourced from the internet. My bellhouse was covered with filthy oil.)

The lubricant used for the R-tronic gearbox.
DreamWeaver replied to PixelMaster's topic in General Discussions
Greetings The gearbox, whether operated manually or with a hydraulic accumulator, requires the use of gear oil with the specification VAG > G 052 171 A2. The hydraulic oil (VAG > G 004 000 M2) enters the hydraulic accumulator. -
Indeed, even after a duration exceeding six and a half years of ownership of my C43, I continue to have a strong aversion towards speed bumps, humps, and any other road obstacles. Regardless of the velocity at which I traverse these impediments, the undercarriage of my vehicle consistently makes contact with their summits, resulting in discomfort for my posterior and financial repercussions. The presence of potholes may be quite dangerous. I am contemplating using Uber, but the one factor preventing me from doing so is that it is the only location where I can really appreciate my music. I was exposed to Jesse Cook and since then, I have remained steadfastly devoted to his music.

Can factory glass be retrofitted with window tints?

It is advisable to get the glass s/h and then choose a suitable individual to install it. However, it will not be cost-effective. I conducted an impromptu search on the eBay platform for E Class glass, selecting the read passenger door glass for £55 and the quarterlight glass for £50. The cost of the doors alone amounts to £200. The rear side glass was priced at £130, while the rear hatch was priced at £80. The price for the lot is £540. In addition, appropriate. -
I have a strong preference for automobiles with two doors, to the extent that I seldom consider cars with four doors. Currently, I own three cars with six doors, all of them are black. I am clearly influenced by the concept of CDO.

I'm glad you have resolved the issue. When I encountered the issue, it was unfamiliar to me. I believe it was related to the regenerative braking system or something they are trying to improve for my satisfaction. Both alternators seemed identical when seen side by side, save for the presence of a clutch in one of the pulleys.

The process of ageing and cognitive decline Apologies, but I had a similar issue last year. I had an incorrect alternator on my vehicle, but I am unable to recall the codes. Which alternator did you replace?

I chose to reinstall the original EGR valve and successfully replaced it without experiencing the coolant leak that occurred in earlier tries. Unable to locate the proposed pipe by BlackC55, I cleared the 14CF00 code and took the vehicle for a spin. The car performed well with no warning lights, showing a considerable improvement from its former condition. After checking my code reader and finding no codes, I drove for about half an hour. The car started reverting to its previous state, feeling like the brakes were being applied intermittently. This made driving uncomfortable and challenging. The car seemed fine for a while but then started jerking several times before I reached home. When inspecting the code reader, no 14CF00 code or warning light was found, indicating a possible issue with the ERG system. It seems that the actuator code is not visible and may need removal for identification, which may be inconvenient. That's my update, making a little advancement.Cheers

I appreciate the information and guidance. The EGR is a refurbished Wahler part. The second part of your reply is beyond my current knowledge. I am unsure of the location of the EGR pipe in the front or the throttle flap. I will examine the pipes tomorrow during daylight to see if I can understand them and determine if it is something I can attempt. Thank you
